i wonder if daniel would do better with a sniper than a shottie
then again, medic with a shotgun is cool

((in the South Night, but close to the border))

And Mop lives hereish
oh that's where Ember lives too
worldly light
You do not want to know why Mop lives so close to the Glen and Industrial
daring apex
makes sense
since yknow
worldly light
damn thats fucked up they keep murpi so far out there
I mean she could live in any of the green areas.
cerulean copper
currently running calcs god save me
worldly light
Miltech and NCPD have big presence in corporate areas
NorCal is just the main base.
daring apex
I mean she could live in any of the green areas.
yeah but
again it makes sense theyd at least keep her out of the way

for context she's probably militech

whatd she start with

thatll do it

that's after everything was installed

catgrill solo on the other end of the spectrum
also a terribly unsubtle person given the installed ChainRipp
this woman is going to charge you with a chainsaw arm and a riot shield

yeah Ember's definitely more "sneak up and kick your spine in"
daring apex
i feel like we've got a lot of fighty type critters

god they're the saaaaame
daring apex
well murphis a more blatant hunter
she doesnt stalk
she PURSUES
this girl once she has your scent is AFTER YOU
cerulean copper
Ngl D'arby is the person sent in to deal with a riot in the least amount of subtlety possible
This woman has a message to send
daring apex
this girl once she has your scent is AFTER YOU
glass violet
this girl once she has your scent is AFTER YOU
no yea same
Ember's great at tracking too, tho not literally via scent
glass violet
probably gonna give her the like, tremorsense thingie
daring apex
right?
oh i did give her that
unless the dog and the cat are hunting in the same way
screaming charging crashing through doors
glass violet
ah no yeah Ember's more the type to sneak in for the kill than charge in
cerulean copper
D'arby just being met with a brick only for her to catch it and crush it in her hand
Also yes she speaks French despite being of middle eastern descent
glass violet
french cats french cats

they can share their kills maybes

glass violet
yeah the random gen ones can be pretty fucked
cerulean copper
french cats french cats
Tbf though this is partially because she has Loner Psyker as her voiceclaim
glass violet
i thought the loner was russian-esque
cerulean copper
Maybe?
glass violet
the savant was french
and the seer was kinda british-ish
cerulean copper
I thought the seer was german
Also seer just straight up exploding his therapist lmao
daring apex
oh my god
daring apex
yeah the random gen ones can be pretty fucked
she got a 10 lmao
this ones still sticking in my head goddamn
just that last bit
that last bit is so fucking mean
glass violet
I thought the seer was german
depends on male or female i think, for fem ones its
savant is french and was a cop (ew yucky)
seer is british/scottish and talks about her beloved
loner is like, russian(?) and low-key hates the imperium
paper yacht
the male Loner's voice is a lot less dramatic when he's calm
but hearing him speak calmly is rare and only really in elevators
glass violet
i really like the actual voice for savant but i didn't vibe with her lines about like, being like, oo yay enforcers
cerulean copper
Also I still think it's funny how RK in Lancer sounds like Jerma and then there's CPR!RK who somehow sounds like he crawled right out of STALKER
paper yacht
Daniel in his originally setting had a very soft-sounding scottish accent, but that was only bc his in-universe place of origin was a celtic expy
he was changed to an american accent for lancer and CPR
soft as in like, it's a soft voice, not like it was hard to notice
cerulean copper
For some reason CPR!RK's voice to me comes across as a little bit hoarse
paper yacht
Lord Korlok sounds like the most stereotypical knight imaginable
but he's even less stable in Cyberpunk than he is in Lancer

@glass violet what exactly does ember do for biotechnica?
cerulean copper
also I wonder
what did they do to murp
did they
did they put a chip in her brain
daring apex
what did they do to murp
a lot!
daring apex
did they put a chip in her brain
hm?
daring apex
oh yes
theyve got a couple things to keep her loyal
none have proven necessary yet
cerulean copper
uh oh
ngl if D'arby betrays her corporate overlords her organs are shutting down
daring apex
uh oh
murpi is very loyal you see
she really actually genuinely believes shes working off her debt
and that theyll give her back her face and let her see her family
when shes paid it off
cerulean copper
ngl D'arby feels like she's fallen for some sort of trap
like Militech has her in a chokehold and she knows it
so she's trying to save Set from that same fate
unfortunately
Set is a crazy mf and is a part of the local mafia
good luck getting him outta that situation
daring apex
:)
paper yacht
Daniel's very lucky to have fallen in with a corp like Trauma Team, i.e. one that doesnt try to own his life
then again, he worked for a corp, not sold out to one
cerulean copper
D'arby sold out to one because her living conditions were terrible even while she was doing solo work
wasn't until she found out she'd sold her soul that she started to regret her choice
daring apex
then again, he *worked* for a corp, not sold out to one
murphi was completely thrown under the bus by her precinct
if she hadnt taken the corposec job she would uh
she would probably be dead
so instead she sold her independence and her humanity
cerulean copper
D'arby and Set's minds are both fraying at the edges
ngl RK being surprisingly light on cyberware is probably a good thing
glass violet
<@163857539136487434> what exactly does ember do for biotechnica?
"Asset denial and requisition"
Basically corporate espionage, sabotage, assassination, and like bodyguard work occasionally
glass violet
wasn't until she found out she'd sold her soul that she started to regret her ch...
Yeah basically what Ember's gonna realize
daring apex
shes a touch more on the reactive side
when the company finds out someones doing something against them
thats when she shows up
glass violet
Ahhh
cerulean copper
I wonder if Murphi and D'arby would be seen working together
daring apex
"Asset denial and requisition"
Basically corporate espionage, sabotage, assassin...
so i figure itd make sense for the two to have met as a result of murphi pursuing ember for espionage shit
glass violet
Again that might be how they met
Muppo was sent to intercept Ember on a job or something
Ayyy same brain
daring apex
mhmhm
daring apex
I wonder if Murphi and D'arby would be seen working together
probably
murphi comes off real detached btw
probably because of
yknow
glass violet
I'm shocked that Ember is as well adjusted as she is lol
daring apex
it does make her more compliant with company orders though!
glass violet
I think ideally, Ember would eventually wanna escape from the Corp, move to fuckin Seattle with the crew, join a band or somethin
daring apex
so thats two
glass violet
Ember's at 47 rn, but that's coz I literally started her at 80, and she's also gonna get more cyber as things go
glass violet
so thats two
Oh, Ember's listed as a friend for murpi...
daring apex
theres no "rival" option
glass violet
glass violet
They'll be friends eventually :3
glass violet
Ember doesn't really have any friends aside from her handler at the start
glass violet
I think once they started working together then yeah
daring apex
thats why murphi has her as friend
glass violet
Ember just hasn't updated her contacts to friends yet lol
glass violet
Also both these blorbs have handlers with water themed last names lol
Attwater and Brine
daring apex
IT KEEPS HAPPENING
glass violet
Also Attwater and Brine would be an excellent name for a law firm
daring apex
besides her boss
he says nice things to her and showers her with praise
glass violet
I gotta decide how Ember's handler is
daring apex
he says nice things to her and showers her with praise
shes so easy to control
all you have to do is tell her how proud you are when she succeeds
and how much you believe she can do better when she fails
cerulean copper
I wonder if D'arby is stuck under the same handler
daring apex
its about the only thing remotely grounding her right now
cerulean copper
I don't think she likes working with Murphi but at the same time she just feels sorry for her
daring apex
take a wild wild guess what attwater looks like
daring apex
I gotta decide how Ember's handler is
oooh
glass violet
take a wild wild guess what attwater looks like
Iunno
daring apex
shes so easy to control
see, a lesser handler would be the drill instructor
mean and cruel, shouting obscenities
but attwater... do you know where he started, when he first took a job with militech?
cerulean copper
no idea
daring apex
PR department
he was the star
he knew how to play people
he knew how people like a narrative, a success story
a redemption arc
and thats what hes selling to murphi
thats how he keeps her under his thumb
and how he keeps her... relatively stable
cerulean copper
D'arby is uhhhh
let's just say she's occasionally thrown a cruel joke or two towards Murphi
"We're both just wild dogs they keep leashed up 'til they need us."
daring apex
Iunno
tall, thin, dark hair, dark eyes, perfectly groomed hair, and either the warmest or most evil smile youve ever seen, depending entirely on the observer
cerulean copper
"Pff, don't tell me the handler's got you clicker trained too..."
these are the things she'd probably say to Murphi
daring apex
be nice
glass violet
See ember hasn't had that realization yet, she's just got the starts of realizing she may have fallen for a trap with this shit, but it'll take running with the group for her to realize just how bad shit is with her Corp, and how painfully lonely she is
daring apex
tall, thin, dark hair, dark eyes, perfectly groomed hair, and either the warmest...
smile lines too
real smiler this ambrose attwater is
daring apex
See ember hasn't had that realization yet, she's just got the starts of realizin...
i dont think murphi is mentally equipped to realize right now
she'd need a support structure first
like a real one
glass violet
i dont think murphi is mentally equipped to realize right now
Yeah, again it's gonna take her connecting with the crew for her to realize
Ember's definitely the "no I don't need anyone" kind of lonely-in-denial type right now
daring apex
murphi just has a hollow, vacant stare
neutral expression most times
shes only present when shes acting, methinks
daring apex
"Pff, don't tell me the handler's got you clicker trained too..."
"No, he does not."
glass violet
Actually yeah Ember's probably more like that too, she is being laced with emotion suppressants so she wouldn't be as denial-y and aggro about shit
daring apex
murphi doesnt even have suppressants or anything shes just
yknow shes teetering the edge
glass violet
Cold and matter-of-fact about things
Things are fine cuz they could be worse kinda vibes
cerulean copper
I think D'arby is always sporting an annoyed or pissed off look on her face
daring apex
the funny thing is a lot of that color she used to have would return if she slips into cyberpsychosis proper
as those inhibitions slip away
glass violet
I think D'arby is always sporting an annoyed or pissed off look on her face
Ember ๐ค D'arby
Moderate to severe resting bitch face
cerulean copper
also D'arby is just naturally resilient when it comes to drugs. It's why Militech can't just slip Prime Time into her food
daring apex
Ember ๐ค D'arby
Moderate to severe resting bitch face
murphi: ๐
she is ruthless in pursuit and even then shes like
terminator about it
doing all these violent things just dead silent
even where she should thrive
nothing
cerulean copper
D'arby does sometimes slip a bit and starts grinning while sawing some poor guy's arms off before looking around and quickly pretending like she wasn't just reveling in what she did
hollow bronze
is may the only one here having a good time?
hollow bronze
(tho tbh I can't imagine her ending up in a team w a couple corpo attack dogs without being held at gunpoint.... that's an idea)

D'arby is Militech and hates her job :)
hollow bronze
should I arrest the wretched little thief

D'arby is Militech and hates her job :)
murphi is militech and ______ her job
hollow bronze
i think may is a big believer in the philosophy that all things can be stolen but things you chip are harder to steal
therefore
invest in cyberware
glass violet
D'arby is Militech and hates her job :)
Ember is Biotechnica and is fine with her job, she will hate it eventually
hollow bronze
so when the pigs inevitably crash your shit and take everything, you still have things to use
daring apex
thats how he keeps her under his thumb
allow me to explain
the dog that loves its master is preferable to the dog that fears its master
both will obey, but the frightened dog may, one day, snap at its master
the loving hound will always obey, anything for the attention and affection and the gentle hand of the master

wait what can fashion cash be spent on?
daring apex
that is how attwater sees her

anything not used is considered to be wasted

daring apex
yup
cerulean copper
yep

so goblin kinda looks like blond wolverine
he's a techie who studied mathematics at several different universities, and now makes a living doing the exact thing you wouldn't really expect a mathematician to be doing
he's the mechanic of the team, essentially
he's not very open about his private life (somehow even less so than two-hands) (but still more than boxer) mostly because nobody asks
he's also very bisexual
cerulean copper
supremely bisexual blorb

kinda chubby, very hairy guy
i forget if i gave him lore on his name
i think he's transgender but i forgot
i wouldn't doubt it

All our blorbos are bi as fuck lol

it's less about whether i've said it and more about whether i've said it YET

she does need a doc willing to take not enough money to install stolen chrome for this to happen tho
paper yacht

Part of his business model is that, unless you're a scav, chrome is installed no questions asked. It's dangerous to be asking questions when a lot of your clientele are combat zoners.

ok cool. May has decided that Daniel is her friend.

Of course, if you are a scav, then you can go get fucked. He's seen enough of their victims on his operating table to have a visceral dislike for them.

Hell he's not opposed to salvaging chrome from someone he had to kill, or some dead ganger he found on the side of the road

yeah that's what RK would help her with

It's killing people for their chrome he takes offense to

gave him a linear frame specifically so he could one-hand a heavy melee and have a pistol in one hand and a longsword in the other
which honestly is probably weaker than just giving him martial arts but fuck it we ball, it fits the knight theming
he has a cool stat of 7 because his complete insanity and disregard for his own life comes off as unshakeable confidence

there are two leeway rollises
charlotte "leeway" rollis is the grandniece of my first ever cyberpunk character, joshua rollis, who was a 36 year old asexual man with the aptitude of a dad. exactly the opposite of a typical hollywood cowboy, but still looking exactly like one (down to the duster)
a few years of tumultuous family history later, and charlotte rollis is either in a majority latino town in some southwestern state, OR in an evil biker gang raiding along the border of mexico and the u.s.
initially i made charlotte rollis to be a loud, bratty dipshit who wanted to be a cool badass cowboy hero like her granduncle joshua
the story shifted overtime, eventually becoming a situation where she tries to conform to the pop country norms of conservative middle class america, only to eventually mature and reject all that for her queerness and heritage; still making music, but less successful and happier for it
unfortunately, this didn't tie very well into the NEXT rollis' story
but you know what story did?
the original one
with body complications due to lots of mods being installed at a developmental age and causing many issues, after charlie had her development and settled as the sheriff of a small town, her health failed and a corporate sheriff came in and her kid loretta tried to avenge her and etc etc. that's not the story we're looking at rn
night crag
the story shifted overtime, eventually becoming a situation where she tries to c...
i should also note that THIS leeway became nicer, and that was reflected in how the character was actually built mechanically. there was a huge focus on being tanky as well as charismatic, making her a lot taller and beefier than she originally was (closer to j. rollis' physique)
so she's coronabeth tridentarius, while the worse-off leeway is a bit of a beanpole
i think she gets fatter later in life, but for most of it she suffers pretty badly from an eating disorder
or she's used to eating less, or both
anyways
it makes more sense for folk country "did you know she was an edgerunner who killed people back in the day?" leeway rollis to become a sheriff rather than big city million-genre hannah montana ass leeway rollis
it ALSO makes sense for a fairly traumatized former killer to have relationship issues (why loretta never really knew her other mom) over, again, bubbly friendly loving kind much less bloodshedding experimental music maker
am i making sense here
any questions
oh actually, there's a pretty significant turning point in edgy beanpole charlotte's personality
when a job goes wrong
she's really tough, right? hard as nails, can take a lot of punishment and still hold on, plus the fact that by this point everything but, like, her organs are bullet resistant plays into that
during this job, she practically gets melted off her skeleton
she lives, but it's a very traumatic experience
she's still only around seventeen or eighteen around this point
maybe nineteen, something like that

Manufacturing 20 dollar things
You pay 10, get to make about... Let's say 17 or 18, for 170/180 raw profit.

100's might be worse, you only get to make 1 per day, for 50 profit.

V expensive is even worse, with 36 per day.
Luxury takes 30 days, for 133+change.
And super luxury takes the same amount of time, for 166 profit

trauma team probably put some kind of failsafe like a remote disable in Daniel's cyberware but because he left on good terms and went through the actual resignation process they never had to actually use it
plus he doesn't have much cyberware to begin with, mainly a biomon and his toolhand, his fashionware he just bought with his paycheck
wouldnt be worth disabling just a biomon and a toolhand
cerulean copper
RK has no corp or gang made cyberware but if any of it does come into his possession, he usually takes a week to do a full sweep to make sure it's even safe to install
This is kind of coming from a viewpoint he's gotten from his parents before shit hit the fan
Namely the fact that nobody gives out free cyberware without sticking something in it
Turns out having corpo parents that also happen to be execs ends in them saying a lot of things that would leave most children a paranoid and anxiety ridden mess
paper yacht
how did he end up living on the street with exec parents
cerulean copper
Y'know how I said he fled
Yeah that was due to infighting that left more than a few family members floating belly up in a nearby harbor
He kinda just decided "I'm not sticking around for this" and it just spiralled from there
It's likely a rival sibling might have also permanently erased him from the records so it's not like he's going back to that life at any point
As it turns out
Corpo kids are fucking horrible towards each other
cerulean copper
Anyways yeah, he was basically left with a) fighting for his life in what can only be described as a family wide power struggle or b) book it and hope he can somehow make it out in the streets
He chose the latter and at least he has friends that aren't likely to stab him in the back for whatever position he has
(tbh though I don't think "near homeless man" is a position most people would want)
Also average day of someone having to hear RK throw up due to food poisoning
cerulean copper
Split between SovOil and Arasaka
Like not the family I just haven't come to a decision yet
I think he leans more towards SovOil though
Since he does kinda have a decent amount of Neo-Soviet tech on him
I also think RK's last name is probably some corruption of Krasikov or some other similar name
cerulean copper
Probably because it's not as advanced and also has to y'know
Deal with the absolutely fucked climate up there

Neosoviet tech is highly industrialised.
Zhirafa, the leading manufacturer of industrial drones is NeoSoviet based
So
The two soviet corpos that we know a lot on is SovOil, who mostly make agricultural equipment and alternative fuel.
And Zhirafa, who make drones autonomous robots and construction Mechs
There are also two weapon manufacturers but we only have a weapon per each so.
SovOil is Moscow Based, Zhirafa I think is Vladivostok
Zhirafa is just a weird romanised spelling of Giraffe btw
